Ben Sira 27:28-28:1
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
28 Mockery and abuse will befall the arrogant,
and vengeance lies in wait for them like a lion.
29 Those who rejoice in the downfall of the godly will be caught in a snare,
and pain will consume them before they die.
30 Wrath and anger, these also are abominations,
yet a sinner holds on to them.
Chapter 28
1 The vengeful will face the Lord’s vengeance;
indeed he remembers their sins in detail.(A)
